Wow! Finally got a chance to post.

My office is also in garden grove. We had very strong shaking. I was surprised when I heard it was only a 5.something!

Not too much damage on the first floor, where I am. But the second and third are a mess! Overturned file cabinets, stuff thrown from shelves, people trapped in their offices by overturned furniture, and one fatality... a fish.

They evacuated our building. After a roll call, we were released to go to lunch about 12:15. When I got back, the building was open again.

Bill is ok. He said that it was just a gentle swaying motion at home in LB. The white trash neighbors are all freaked out. Their first.

My mom is in Anaheim Hills. She’s ok. She had just left her apartment. She was in the hallway when it hit. She said she just bounced from wall to wall until it stopped, and then, went to play Mah Jong with her friends (that’s where she was headed).

My sister who lives in Placentia said her house is a disaster.
